A dystopian novel series set in post-nuclear CanadaScience Fiction (Dystopian & Post-Apocalyptic) explores futures shaped by collapse, control, and consequence. These stories unfold in societies transformed by nuclear war, ecological disaster, technological overreach, surveillance regimes, and engineered systems of order. Whether civilization has fallen outright or calcified into rigid institutional control, the genre examines what humanity becomes under extreme pressure.
Dystopian science fiction focuses on structured oppression — optimized cities, algorithmic governance, bureaucratic power, and surveillance infrastructures that redefine freedom. Post-apocalyptic fiction moves through the aftermath: fractured landscapes, reclaimed territories, hostile environments, and fragile communities rebuilding amid scarcity and memory.
Together, these narratives blend speculative world-building with psychological and moral tension. They question authority, adaptation, resilience, and the cost of survival in controlled or broken worlds. From intimate character-driven resistance to large-scale systemic collapse, this category brings together science fiction that confronts power, consequence, and the future of human identity.
Explore stories where the end of one world becomes the proving ground for another.

A dystopian novel series set in post-nuclear Canada
Stéphane Roy is a lifelong reader and writer with a deep love for science fiction, apocalyptic worlds, and tightly constructed mysteries. This is his first novel. He lives in the Yukon with his dog and his aquarium, where long winters, silence, and wide, sometimes glowing, skies leave plenty of room for imagining the end of the world, and what might come after it. He is also waiting, with cautious optimism, for the aliens to finally reveal themselves and straighten us all out.
